Pieter Groeneveldt (1889-1982) was an artist, ceramist, poet and pottery manufacturer. He trained as a painter at the Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. There he had been taught by Antoon Derkinderen and Nicolaas van der Waay. Disappointed in his work as a portrait painter - he wanted to make characteristic portraits, but his Hague clientele only wanted to see ideal images - he started a flower shop, Sheherazade. He liked to convert his flower works into ceramics. That brought him into contact with the Amphora factory.
He made his first pottery at the Tegel- en Fayancefabriek Amphora in Oegstgeest, where he received turning lessons from Gerrit de Blanken. Around 1925 he had his own studio in Wassenaar. Since 1927 he had a workshop in Voorschoten on Donklaan, where the Groeneveldt pottery factory was founded in 1938. After bankruptcy in 1973, the factory was taken over by Delfos, which itself went bankrupt in 1987.
Pieter Groeneveldt made many unique works in the last ten years of his life, working from his house with conservatory in Voorschoten. This period is called the greenhouse period. The Museum Voorschoten owns a large Groeneveldt collection after acquiring the Lamboo collection and the Briët collection. (Wikipedia)
